Chapter 920 - 920 Really Not Waiting for Him?
920 Really Not Waiting for Him?
The small spaceship was filled with a happy atmosphere. Be it the usually serious Tiago, the always cold Pinto, or the enthusiastic and generous Okiya, the little fatty, Ankola, who always looked a little funny because of his round body, they could not help but smile from the bottom of their hearts.
Even Sang Shan, who always had a timid expression and did not look like a young genius martial artist at all, revealed a smile at this moment and looked extremely relaxed.
Ever since they were inexplicably captured and saved by Chu Nan, everyone felt extremely pressured.
Later on, when so many terrifying ferocious beasts appeared on that planet and surrounded them, it made the young geniuses on the Orion Arm experience the threat of death for the first time.
Be it the pursuit of those powerful enemies from the outside world or the direct threat of these ferocious beasts inside, they experienced an experience they had never experienced.
If not for the fact that every one of them was a genius with a firm mind and tenacious will, they would have long been crushed by the huge pressure.
However, even so, they already felt that they could not last long.
Fortunately, they finally escaped with Chu Nan’s help.
Previously, on that planet, everyone could only sigh at their weakness and be unable to cross the sea of stars with their bodies like Chu Nan. They could only be forced to be limited to that small planet.
Now that they had boarded this spaceship, they finally had the ability to cross the sea of stars and finally saw the possibility of escaping back to the Orion Arm.
When they thought of the chance to return to a place they were familiar with, the smiles on everyone’s faces were naturally impossible to suppress, causing for the first time, a harmonious, warm, and friendly atmosphere to appear in this small group.
However, at this moment, a discordant voice sounded.
“Chu Nan… why isn’t he here yet?”
The cheerful voice in the spaceship stopped. Everyone turned to look at Sang Shan who asked this question.
Suddenly being stared at by so many people, the usually timid Sang Shan could not help but lower her head slightly, but she still whispered, “He… he can’t… can’t come, right?”
Everyone looked at each other and finally focused their gazes on Tiago.
Tiago thought for a moment and coughed lightly, “According to the plan proposed by Chu Nan, after we reach the stargate first, we only need to wait for him for five minutes and he can rush over.”
At this point, Tiago looked down at the personal terminal on his wrist.
“Four minutes have passed. Wait another minute.”
Pinto suddenly frowned, “I say, we don’t have to wait for him, right? Since Chu Nan can run out and find this spaceship alone, he definitely has the ability to escape himself. It’s fine if we don’t wait for him. Instead, if we continue to wait here, we might be in danger.”
“What did you say?” Okiya glared at Pinto, “Chu Nan took such a huge risk to obtain this chance to escape for us, but you’re not even willing to wait for him for a few minutes?”
“No, I just…” Pinto opened his mouth and saw the complicated gazes of the others around him. He shrugged and did not continue.
Tiago’s gaze swept past everyone’s faces and he sneered in his mind.
Although most people glared at Pinto and clearly did not agree with him, a few people were still silent and did not show anything. They were probably thinking the same thing as Pinto.
When he recalled the instructions Chu Nan had given him before he left, Tiago shouted, “Wait another minute. If Chu Nan doesn’t arrive, we’ll leave first.”
“What?” Not only were Okiya and Sang Shan looking at Tiago in surprise, but the others also looked at him in surprise.
In everyone’s opinion, the relationship between Chu Nan and Tiago should be the best among them because they seemed to have known each other from the beginning. Chu Nan had even handed the heavy responsibility of leading them to board the spaceship to escape to Tiago. It could be seen how much he trusted him.
However, now that Tiago said such a thing, it really surprised everyone.
Okiya’s expression immediately turned cold, “Hey, Tiago, what do you mean? Could it be that you really plan to leave Chu Nan behind if he doesn’t appear later?”
Tiago glanced at her and said expressionlessly, “Chu Nan said this himself. He said that every minute we stay in this Star Field is another danger. Therefore, if he can’t arrive in time, we’ll ignore him and leave first.”
“No!” Okiya simply shook her head and rejected, “If I can’t leave with Chu Nan, I won’t leave either!”
Tiago smiled and raised the personal terminal on his wrist.
“It’s not up to you to decide if you want to leave or not.”
“You!” Okiya was immediately furious. She pointed at Tiago and was speechless.
The personal terminal on Tiago’s wrist was given to him by Chu Nan. It was also the only item that was connected to the main control of this small spaceship and could control it.
Before Chu Nan left, he handed this personal terminal to Tiago and handed him control of this spaceship. If Tiago wanted to control the spaceship to fly away, the others could not do anything about it.
Seeing that Okiya seemed to be a little restless, Tiago said with a cold expression, “This is Chu Nan’s decision and has nothing to do with me. If you don’t want to hear it and put all of us in danger, leave the spaceship yourself, and don’t leave with us later.”
Okiya was immediately furious, but she could only forcefully suppress the anger in her heart.
Leave the spaceship?
What a joke!
She was only a Void Break Martial Artist and did not have the ability to survive in space. Leaving the spaceship was courting death!
As for attacking Tiago…
Not to mention that the strength Tiago had displayed in these few days seemed to be slightly superior to hers, even if he did not, her actions might not obtain the support of everyone.
In the end, there was a possibility of escaping. Who was willing to cause an accident at this moment?
“You don’t have to be angry about this. When Chu Nan explained this plan, all of us were present and heard it clearly.” Seeing that Okiya did not act rashly, Tiago slowed down his tone and said, “Since he planned this, we have to believe him. If we change the plan on our own and cause a problem with the entire plan, causing the final plan to fail, we’ll really let him down. To be honest, the current us are actually a burden to him. Without us, he won’t be in any danger.”
Hearing the last sentence, everyone’s expressions became extremely ugly.
However, they could not refute Tiago’s words at all.
That was the truth. Because Chu Nan was stronger than them and most importantly, he had successfully condensed a star cloud and had the ability to shuttle through the starry sky, he could do so many things.
They lacked this ability and could only watch helplessly. They were basically unable to help much. Instead… it could be said to be a burden.
If not for them, with Chu Nan’s ability, he would have long escaped.
Tiago looked down at his personal terminal again and sighed.
“Alright, the five minutes are up. According to the plan, we have to leave.”
Seeing that Tiago had opened his personal terminal and was about to order the mainframe A.I. of the spaceship, Okiya bit her lip and wanted to stop him, but she could not say it.
The others looked at each other with dejected expressions. In the end, no one said anything.
Tiago waited for a while. When no one made a sound, he shook his head and gave the order to set off to the mainframe A.I. of the spaceship through his personal terminal.
The stargate was actually not far away. As long as the spaceship was activated, it could quickly enter the stargate and pass through the starry sky according to the star map navigation to head to the Planet Eton Chu Nan had mentioned.
When they got there, they could return to the Orion Arm under the arrangements of the Etoo Chamber of Commerce and leave this damned place.
However, now that they were clearly infinitely close to escaping, everyone no longer had the happy and excited mood from before. Instead, they lowered their heads slightly, their expressions low and gloomy.
The spaceship under his feet moved slightly, but it had already been activated and started to move towards the stargate.
At this moment, a notification sounded, and then a familiar voice suddenly sounded.
“Heh, everyone, I’m back… Eh? Why are you all crying? I originally thought that you should be cheering for finally escaping.”
Everyone suddenly raised their heads and looked at the huge virtual screen displayed by the mainframe A.I. of the spaceship.
On the virtual screen, Chu Nan’s familiar face almost occupied the entire screen with surprise.
